Sweet Potato and Cheese Pastry Puffs – Great for picnics and parties!

Instructions

1. Take the puff pastry out of the fridge 10 minutes before you plan to use it.

2. Using a fork, prick your sweet potato several times and place in the microwave for 5 minutes or until tender.

3. Thinly grate 50g of cheese and place in a bowl.

4. Scoop the baked potato into the bowl with the cheese. Mix thoroughly.

5. Roll out your puff pastry and use a cutter to cut out 12-16 circles (we prefer using a scalloped edged cutter).

6. Take a handful of the cheese and potato mixture and roll into a ball. Place this onto one of the puff pastry circles. Do this for half of your puff pastry circles.

7. Once you have placed cheesy balls onto the pastry, brush egg or milk around the outside of the puff pastry and place a second puff pastry circle on top of this. Press gently around the edges of the pastry.

8. Apply a thin coating of egg or milk on the top of your pastry to give it colour.

9. Bake the pastries in the oven on 180°C for 12 minutes or until golden.

10. Allow to cool and enjoy!
